Chapter 122 - 122: Hoodwink Asteroid Briefing

Jace stood in the situation room with a stoic expression as he put his final touches on the plan. The situation room was a large room with a holotable on a lowered area and seats on raised areas around it. It was the room where any attack plans were determined if there was a plan ahead of time.

The Anvil had arrived near the asteroid at the edge of the Artemis System. It was one of the points in which they assumed Lord Hoodwink had a lab because Devan was delivering goods for him there. So in following his trail they would raid this hidden lab while another unit scouted out the facility located within the Leonair territory.

They had started getting preliminary scans from this distance so they could start making plans. The plans were for their entrance into the facility. Since they were mostly going in blind they got a long range scan and learned that the facility had several airlocks and a single hangar entrance.

Vana rolled her eyes and then looked at the captain, "I will at least be allowed to watch the helmet cameras, correct?"

Captain Hammers blinked for a moment before nodding, "of course. It will also help you understand the kind of monster we are hunting if this is a lab of his."
